Mon, 22 Oct 2012 07:50:07 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1459725#comment-2075134Like others have mentioned, there is no such thing as re-establishing yourself in bounds for a WR on a pass play. This only is a rule for special teams and fumble recoveries, nothing else. And, it’s good that it doesn’t exist for pass plays or else we’d constantly see players go out of bounds at the slightest contact, only to come back in and catch the ball. I wouldn’t want that kind of call to be an opinion based call for the refs. It would be constantly confusing and would be constantly called wrong, just like the wonderful completed catch rules these days.

If Freeman had still been in the pocket, however, then pushing the WR out of bounds would have been an illegal contact call and an illegal touching of the ball. In other words, it still would have been no TD and 4th down. Kind of doesn’t matter now, but those are the re-established rules…they don’t apply for WR’s on a pass play.

Fans try to make rules work in their favor when it’s convenient for them. Try blaming your loss on your team and not the refs. And watch out for the Saints down the stretch we have the horses to make a serious run.

Sun, 21 Oct 2012 22:15:40 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1459725#comment-2074521The play was great hustle to get to a slacking Vincent Jackson. Tell me this though, Mike Williams was shoved out, came back in took four steps, planted both feet in the end zone and caught the ball. What else does a receiver have to do to “re-establish” himself in the endzone, write the NFL a letter? Neither team deserved this win with the way they played defense, but the referees inserted themselves into the game needlessly. It clearly works for the media, a 3-3 Bucs team is not nearly as exciting as a 2-4 Saints team who is “right in the thick of things” apparently… I’m sure the team will get the satisfaction of another letter from the referees, which surprisingly will make things all better! *sarcasm*

The wild cards will be going to the NFC North and East

Don’t fool yourself

Jackson needs to do wind sprints. He was huffing after 20 yards on his big reception on the final drive also. Terrible conditioning.
